JOB OVERVIEW

We’re looking for a technical SEO specialist with strong WordPress experience to fix a ranking drop caused by a website migration (Squarespace ? WordPress).

This is NOT ongoing SEO.
This is a one-time project focused on identifying and fixing structural and technical issues.

We are not looking for someone to “run SEO.”
We are looking for someone who can diagnose and fix what broke.

Scope of Work:
• Audit post-migration SEO issues
• Identify and fix redirect issues (301s, broken URLs, etc.)
• Restore and optimize key pages (structure, metadata, headers)
• Rebuild internal linking
• Fix sitemap and indexing issues
• Ensure proper crawlability and site structure

What We’re Looking For:
• Proven experience with SEO migrations and recovery
• Strong understanding of technical SEO (not just content)
• Hands-on experience with WordPress (themes, plugins, redirects)
• Ability to think and diagnose, not just follow tasks
• Clear communication and ability to work within milestones

IMPORTANT — How to Apply

To be considered, you must:
1. Send an email to: ----------
2. Use this exact subject line: Papaya — [Your Name] Technical SEO Specialist

If the word Papaya is missing, your application will not be reviewed.

In Your Email, Include:

1. Short Introduction

Who you are and your experience with SEO migrations.

2. Answer These 3 Questions (record via Loom):

Q1: Walk us through a migration-related SEO issue you’ve fixed. What went wrong and how did you fix it?

Q2: If a site loses rankings after a migration, what are the first 3 things you check?

Q3: How do you approach redirect mapping and validation?
